LAUNCH CRP129E

EXTREMELY HAPPY. I have only used it 2 times so far but I am happy with this scanner. I have several high quality scanners and this is up there in. value and quaity. You need to be patient and not overthink things. Or maybe underthink depending on what you expect. Read the screen and don't make assumptions. Most scanners are similar but not all the same. I bought this specifically to read transmission fluid temperature. I received it yesterday and charged it up and downloaded all current updates. Today I decided to check it out and confirm it will do what I want. I plugged it in and it automaticlly started scanning the vin. Then I confirmed vin and veh info. It asked if had smart key and then automatically started scanning all systems. When done I couldn't find what I wanted and backed out of everything and went into live data. No go on what I was looking for. I was upset and ready to return it. After googling videos I realized after the inital scan There are tabs to enter into each system. I tried again and low and behold I was able to enter into the ENG/TRANS system. Gave me what I needed and more. 339 live stream tech data to access just in the ENG/TRANS system. Haven't checked all the features but I am impressed for what I have seen so far. If you do your own repairs you should get this.

I got this tool specifically to help bleed ABS braking systems. Since they love to hold onto air bubbles. But the tool is also useful for cars that have electronic parking brakes, as they need to be put into maintenance mode to change pads etc. The took itself gives you step by step instructions on how to do brake fluid flushes. I've used it on a Honda, Chevy and a Subaru and it's diagnosed perfectly. For the price this is a wonderful tool, greatly exceeded my expectations.

Well.....for what you get for your money, this thing is absolutely AWESOME!!!! Legit “SCAN TOOL / SCANNER” —— NOT A “CODE READER”! It is able to communicate with loads and loads of modules in most OBD2 vehicles, especially within the last 15-20 model years, which mid into late 2000s, and especially 2010 +, vehicles now have multiple multiple computer modules, and this thing does a pretty bang up job! Reads codes, clears codes, reads live data across numerous modules which really helps with diag, as well as has features available for some models that allow you to manually toggle items on/off, which is a pretty darn good deal considering cost of this feller! I will admit, that I love my Snap-On EthosPro......but I paid over $3500 for it! Considering this guy being sub $300, it is a really great deal for the capabilities it has to offer. Love the android OS, pretty much acts as a tablet with Launch software. Does have internet connectivity, and internet browser! Freaking awesome!!! Connect to either a WiFi printer, or a shared printer on a network, and print a diagnostic vehicle health report for your customer on the spot! Even better in today’s wireless / paperless world.....instead of printing, you can email the customer their diagnostic vehicle health report right from the scanner itself! Also....FREE UPDATES!!!!!!! If you work on cars, and you do NOT own a “SCAN TOOL”, you definitely cannot go wrong starting with this feller here.

I bought this scanner mainly for the EPB reset function so I could do the rear pads and rotors on my wife’s VW Tiguan. There were some slightly cheaper options that could achieve this but I went with this one to see if being Android and touch screen-based would make for better user experience. This scanner is definitely easy to use, especially when it comes to the advanced functions. Context menus provide a bit more information and guidance than one would typically expect from a budget scan tool. The english is pretty bad at times, but so far nothing completely unintelligible. I also checked out some of the data stream options as I figured it might help me track down a stubborn miss-fire issue that’s been plaguing the Tiguan for several months now. Unlike my lower end scan tool where each channel just gives a vague number and nothing else, most of the channels were labeled in plain english when using this tool so it was much easier to find the correct ones for monitoring. Your milage in that regard may vary, as I’ve only used this on a single vehicle thus far. Overall I think this is a fine scanner. There are some other options for not a great amount more money with additional functions, and there are some for quite a bit cheaper but with the trade-off of fewer functions and/or a less advanced interface. I tool off a star because the advertised TPMS tool was not included. I contacted the seller and received no reply after 2 weeks. It’s only a $10 little tool, but it’s still bad customer service. Don’t expect these guys to provide any help if you have a genuine problem that needs resolved.

Good quality, basic but gets the job done if that's what you require.

The CPR 129E year model, 2023. Like I said, it is the bank for the money. It is a little expensive. But for around the house work on cars came in handy.And it was easy to set up. No problem at all. It took the down loads,,very well. And if I did not use it in two weeks or three weeks it let me know it had a new update that need to be installed. .I only have one problem. With a 2006 Toyota Camry, I could not get it to download the app for that car it just would not read it. I have not tried it on my 2014 E350 yet. But on everything else it seem to work very well. I am very pleased with it. Especially when it tell me it needs to be updated. And when I do, the update says complete ..that’s it guy. !!Take my word for it or not. I just gave it to you.

You can't upgrade software. Must buy unite direct from launch. Now this unite is no better than a $30 scanner

This is a great mid level scanner. Has helped me on multiple vehicles with different issues. If you are looking for a decent scanner at a decent price then look no further than Launch. Comes with a handy bag to keep your purchase tidy

With the price, very good product

It doesn't cover what they say as far as car manufacturers go. 2012JGC/O my car screen show faults and the machine never picked it up Not 1. Disappointing with it to say the least. Even contacted the manufacturer with the feed back and have heard nothing. Not recommended

Really good stuff

Excellent unit, easy to operate, like the vin # scan.

Bought this tool in April 2021. Used it for a couple of times. It suddenly stopped working last week. Tried contacting the supplier but No feedback. Took it to the Launch Service center, they denie accepting it as it was not purchased through them. NOT RECOMMENDED!
